setting port number from command line has no effect

[Jonathan Ben-Ami]

I'm trying to start zap automatically for CI integration, but starting zap.exe with "-daemon -port 8090" does not affect the default configuration that was sent from the GUI. Zap still starts up listening on the port that was set on the GUI, which I validated with netstat. Does anyone know how to get this to work?

I'm running the release version 2.3.1.

Ah, I've not tried setting params via the exe, I'll have a look to see if thats possible.
In the meantime you can use the zap.bat file - that definitely supports command line parameters.

Cheers,

Simon

How did you start ZAP?

I've just changed the properties of the ZAP.exe desktop shortcut to be:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\OWASP\Zed Attack Proxy\ZAP.exe" -daemon -port 8090
and that did the trick.

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Simon, I'm trying to run zap.exe from the command line with the arguments, which doesn't work. The -daemon argument works, but not the port. Did you check the port number that it's listening on when you changed the shortcut command?

I tried running the batch with the arguments. This does configure the port number but it also opens a command console. Is there any way to avoid this console being opened? I'm not sure I want this open on the CI machine, since closing it closes zap which could break our tests.

Strange.
I checked it was running on the port I specified, and this is working both via the shortcut and the command line.
Can you paste the exact command(s) you are running?

[Jonathan Ben-Ami]

Wow I just checked this directly from the command line and you're right, it works. Seems to be something with the .NET api for passing parameters, which is how I've been starting zap for the automated tests. I'll check it and update you.
